Fail to import ctypes in venv created by poetry

Issue

When I was using poetry install to create venv and install packages, I met

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _ctypes: The specified module could not be found

I tried to use python -m venv to create .venv folder, and it worked fine when importing ctypes. However, poetry doesn't recognize the .venv created this way.

Here is the traceback:

The virtual environment found in C:\Users\wybxc\anaconda3\envs\py310 seems to be broken.
